Regarding the temple guard... for its price, as a recruitable everywhere sacred, it does seem to be pretty strong. Just about any bless would be very good with them, and their only real major weakness is their lowish mr. Two natural attacks, one with the obsinite halberd is a real killer though. That kind of combination of damage output, defensibility and recruit-everywhere status is very rare.

Of course, I'm biased because I may have to fight off a sacred lizard rush very soon.
